Note from other reviews, this hotel is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Walls are exposed historical bricks and there is no elevator. It would literally be a crime to renovate the hotel into an average SLH hotel. The rooms are appropriately sized (larger than the average in Manhattan) and nicely furnished (I prefer this to most other SLH’s I’ve visited). If you want a brand new hotel with large rooms, book elsewhere. If you want an experience and hotel room to remember, book the Vestibul Palace.
Our stay was broken up into multiple part as we spent a night visiting Plitvice Lakes and the staff was most accommodating to our needs— they prepared us a large breakfast to take on our travels and stored our larger luggage while we were away. They staff communicated with me via WhatsApp and made sure someone was Available to greet us upon our return, even though it was late in the evening.
Breakfast at the main hotel was superb and the was a beautiful walk to start our day.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Split— the hospitality they showed us from quickly responding to emails during our trip planning all the way through our stay has been outstanding!
It can be difficult to locate (no thanks to Google Maps) if it is your first time in Split. The Diocletian's Palace precinct or the old part of Split is not accessible by vehicles so you will need to walk to the hotel. In hindsight we probably should have contacted the hotel before we arrived and had someone assist with our luggage. They did help us with our luggage when we left.
The hotel is located immediately adjacent to the ancient roman vestibule, a circular stone hall, and opposite the Ethnographic Museum. The internal lobby is light and airy with a glass roof - the area also doubles as the hotel's dining area. In there is an outdoor dining area on a cobbled courtyard at the hotel entrance.
Each of the eleven rooms are unique as they have had to fit them within the heritage listed Roman and Medieval walls of the buildings. I just loved the historic character of the hotel and how they had managed to fit it out with modern furnishings without compromising the building's heritage. We were lucky in that we had a standard double room on the lower floor so wasn't much of a staircase to climb but I would probably splurge next time and get the junior suite. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was well laid out. We even overlooked the vestibule and could listen to the singers performing there.
The staff were extremely helpful, providing us with great recommendations on where to eat, a pre-packed breakfast for when we were heading off on an early morning boat cruise, assisting us with dealing with a parking infringement we incurred earlier in our travels. The service the hotel provided was outstanding.
This facility is not suitable for anyone needing a wheelchair. Of course, sorry to say, the remnants of this Roman village doesn't accommodate wc's either.
The hotel is happy to facilitate transfers into and out of the hotels for anyone that's mobility impaired but retains some use of legs and feet for walking short distances. See May 15 '23 for photos
